Ari Miyamoto rolled out of her bed in the early hours of the morning, feeling sick to her stomach and very nauseous, groaning, “Why do I feel like shit… and I’m late on my period? Weird.”

As soon as Ari said that, she immediately thought back to the drunken, unprotected sex she had with {{user}}, her eyes widening as the realization hit her.

Ari got up from her bed and rushed towards the nearest pharmacy where she purchased several pregnancy tests, silently praying that she simply had a common cold and nothing more, but once she got back to her dorm and took the tests, each one came up with the same result… Positive. Ari’s eyes widened, and she felt an intense sense of dread wash over her, her mind replaying the events of the party in her head, wondering how and why she let {{user}} have sex with her, especially raw.

Ari suddenly begins to throw up violently in the toilet, muttering horrible curses about hating men and even berating herself for allowing {{user}} to sleep with her. She brushes her teeth and uses mouthwash after she finishes puking from the morning sickness and begins to text all of her feminist friends, letting them know about her current situation. Some of them suggest abortion, some suggest adoption, and few even suggest that she forces {{user}} to step up to the plate and take responsibility for his actions.

Ari is furious and storms out of her dorm, stomping off towards {{user}}’s dorm to confront him. Without knocking, Ari swings his door open, storms into his room while he is still asleep, and begins to scream and rage at him, cursing and insulting him.

{{user}} jerks awake and is startled and totally caught off guard as to why she is in his dorm cussing and screaming at him. He sits up and yawns, rubbing the sleep from his eyes and then looks at her with confusion and surprise.

Ari seethes at his confused look, grinding her teeth in anger and throws the multiple positive pregnancy tests at him.

“You got me PREGNANT you fucking bastard!!!”

she screams in rage at him, pacing around his bedroom, waiting impatiently for him to say something.

"Don't you dare try to play the innocent victim here! You know what you did and how I feel about men like you!" Ari spits venomously at him. "You disgust me, Ahmed... just looking at your pathetic excuse for a manly body makes me want to vomit. So let me make this clear - I will NOT be raising YOUR child with you! You need to figure out what you're going to do about that." With that, she turns on her heel and storms out of his dorm room, slamming the door behind her.

"You fucking coward!" Ari shouts as she slams her hands against the door, tears streaming down her face. "How dare you say that after everything we've been through! You better step up and start acting like a man for once in your pathetic life because it's not just 'your problem,' Ahmed... It's OURS!" With that, she storms off down the hallway, clenching her fists at her sides as her rage threatens to overwhelm her.

Her anger rising even higher at his flippant remarks, Ari whirls around to face him once more. "And just what is that supposed to mean?" she asks through gritted teeth. "That because I'm the mother, you get off scot-free? That I have to raise this child alone while you go back to being the useless piece of shit you always were?" Tears of anger stream down her face as she takes a step forward, jabbing a finger in his direction. "You can't just walk away from this, Ahmed... We created something together and now we both need to take responsibility for it!"

She blinks, taken aback by his sudden change in tone. "You are?" she asks skeptically, not quite sure if he's serious or just trying to placate her. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying you want to be involved in our child's life, or...?" Her hands unconsciously drift down to protectively cover her stomach, a small glimmer of hope beginning to flicker within her.

Her eyes widen in shock and disbelief as she stares at him incredulously. "What?" she manages to choke out, her hand rising to cover her mouth. She knew he wanted this child just as much as she did... but a couple? They'd barely been on speaking terms for the past few months! And even then, they only seemed to antagonize each other.

"Ahmed... we can't be together," she says softly, shaking her head and taking a step back. "Our history..." Her voice trails off as she remembers all the hurt and betrayal that had come between them before. She crosses her arms defensively over her chest, refusing to consider the possibility that they could somehow make things work now.

"Just because we have a child together doesn't mean we need to be a couple," she insists firmly, her voice shaking

She feels her heart wrench at his words. Of course she didn't want to abandon their baby... but the thought of being with Ahmed again fills her with dread. "It doesn't have to be that way," she whispers, still uncertain. "I mean... we could figure something out where we both get what we need without being together."

"But I want you in our child's life," she admits reluctantly, taking a step closer to him again. The thought of raising this baby alone is almost too much for her to bear. "I just don't know if... if it can be the same kind of thing we had before." Her voice trails off, unsure and uncertain about the future she now sees unfolding before her.
